The Spill Canvas - The Tide lyrics
[The Spill Canvas - The Tide lyrics]
And there's three, count 'em three
Children playing on the beach
They were eager to learn
To be taught and to teach
There's Veronica she's biting her lip
As she watches the waves turn
White at the tip and there's Vada
Radiating with joy
And luckily she still can't stand
The sight of a boy and lastly there's Dade
His hair dances in the wind
And he's wondering what love is
And why it has to end
And he can't understand
How everyone goes on breathing
When true love ends
His mother whispers quietly
Heaven's not a place that you go when you die
It's that moment in life when
You actually feel alive
So live for the moment
And take this advice, live by every word
Love is just a hoax so forget
Anything that you have heard
And live for the moment now
And there's three, count 'em three
Children growing on the beach
They were eager to learn
To be taught and to teach
There's Veronica she's licking her lips
As she wait's for her real
First passionate kiss and there's Vada
Can't admit her jealousy
Of her sister Veronica
And how she's so pretty
(and how she's so pretty)
Lastly there's Dade
Still sitting on the dock
Ponders his life, and he skips his rocks
And he wonders when his father will return
But he's not coming back
And he can't understand
How everyone goes on breathing
When true love ends
His mother whispers quietly
Heaven's not a place that you go when you die
It's that moment in life when
You actually feel alive
So live for the moment
And take this advice, live by every word
Love is just a hoax so forget
Everything that you have heard
(forget everything)
And there's three, count 'em three
Children missing from the beach
They were eager to learn
To be taught and to teach
But the sad thing
Is that they never lived passed
The age of fifteen
Due to neglect from their mother
Who was bed ridden by her ex-lover
Their father
She didn't even notice, or pay much attention
As the tide came in and swept
Her three into the ocean
Now all her advice, it seems useless
No, heaven's not a place that
You go when you die
It's that moment in life when you
Touch her and you feel alive
So live for the moment
And take this advice, live by every word
Love's completely real
So forget anything that you have heard
And live for the moment now
Children playing on the beach
They were eager to learn
To be taught and to teach
There's Veronica she's biting her lip
As she watches the waves turn
White at the tip and there's Vada
Radiating with joy
And luckily she still can't stand
The sight of a boy and lastly there's Dade
His hair dances in the wind
And he's wondering what love is
And why it has to end
And he can't understand
How everyone goes on breathing
When true love ends
His mother whispers quietly
Heaven's not a place that you go when you die
It's that moment in life when
You actually feel alive
So live for the moment
And take this advice, live by every word
Love is just a hoax so forget
Anything that you have heard
And live for the moment now
And there's three, count 'em three
Children growing on the beach
They were eager to learn
To be taught and to teach
There's Veronica she's licking her lips
As she wait's for her real
First passionate kiss and there's Vada
